4 FAKTR: Functional and Kinetic Soft Tissue Treatment with Rehab With FAKTR, we apply the latest research from the past 3 International Fascial Congress as well as case studies from those on the forefront of the study of fascia and its relation to human performance and well-being. Many clinicians often seek non-invasive treatment options for athletes and active individuals that achieve rapid positive results with minimal expenditures of time and resources. The FAKTR Concept utilizes both IASTM with functional rehabilitation to bring about healing, decreased pain and edema and an increase in range-of-motion through treatment in positions of provocation and motion as opposed to the traditional static soft-tissue treatment model. Sports practtioners in particular are often performing treatments in locker rooms, on side-lines or in non-clinical settings without the ability to use expensive equipment or therapeutic modalities. The FAKTR concept can be applied with or without instruments and with very simplistic rehab equipment such as physioballs, stability pads latex bands and loops, etc. We will present a treatment developed using peer-reviewed research and evidence from a wide variety of resources. The hands-on class begins with an update of the latest evidence, followed by demonstrations of how to treat the majority of the body using the 5 Concepts of FAKTR. We want the clinician to know when to treat with FAKTR and when treatment is inappropriate with our Concepts. Those attending will hone their manual and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) skills. If you do not know how to utilize either manual or IASTM, you will be shown various hand strokes, hand holds as well as different forms of manual treatment. You will learn both indications for treatment as well as contraindications. In addition to the above information, those attending will also learn how to incorporate a wide variety of rehabilitation during treatment. We cover TMJ, spine, upper extremities (shoulder to fingers), lower extremities (hip to toes), buttocks, SI Joints, psoas, chest, abdomen and more. The class is hands-on in nature, providing an opportunity for all students to demonstrate on their classmates and vice versa. Learning Outcomes include: At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to: 1. Assess and determine the indications and contraindications for utilizing the FAKTR protocol to treat a variety of conditions and patient presentations from head-to-toe 2. Implement the FAKTR protocol incorporating IASTM or manual soft tissue treatment utilizing a variety of techniques to apply the five concepts of FAKTR to treat various musculoskeletal conditions 3. Recognize the significance of the literature presented in regards to its application to the care of acute injuries, including strains, sprains and tendonopathies to bring about and accelerate natural inflammatory and healing processes to decrease pain and increase range of motion. Educational Materials Provided: All attendees are provided with the full PDF course presentation notes at the conclusion of the course, which includes photos of various treatment applications, kinesio-taping applications and various exercises involved in the rehab portion of the course. We also include excerpts and references for all of the peer-reviewed research and published case studies that provide the scientific basis for the protocol along with a list of recommended reading Southeast Sports Seminars

5 Participant Assessment Methods: Analyze Participants will work through various scenarios involving patient presentations of a variety conditions during the hands-on portion of the class. Through palpation, basic range-of-motion testing and functional movement assessments, participants will practice assessments indicating use of the FAKTR concept. Apply After assessing the scenario condition they are attempting to demonstrate on their hands-on partner, the participants will apply the FAKTR protocol using all 5 concepts in order demonstrating treatment from a static position, position of provocation, incorporating movement and applicable functional rehabilitation exercises to produce a desired outcome. There will be open discussion amongst participants and the instructor in the best ways to bring about a desired outcome. The instructor will introduce and demonstrate first and then allow participants to demonstrate on each other. During participant demonstration, the instructor will go throughout the classroom and provide one-on-one guidance and answers to questions, tips on appropriate technique and application, etc. Supporting Articles/Studies: Davidson, C.L., L.
